German
car magazine Auto Bild, Audi is in the process of developing the A9
model which will be their new flagship car. To be based on the A8, the
new A9 will be a 2 door coupe and the design would be modern in looks
and like. The car is currently under production stage to be available in
the market by 2014. The interior of the car also would be highly done
up and is expected to be priced at €80,000. The car measures 5 meters by
length and there would be a cabriolet variant of the car on offer as
well. Reports in 2011 had it that since both Lamborghini and Audi were
of the VW Group the Audi A9 would be developed in line with the Estoque
from Lamborghini.

The A9 then had been reported to be coming as a
four door coupe model. It was supposed to give competition to the
Mercedes-Benz CLS and the Porsche Panamera as the reports had then
stated. There is yet no finality on the body style that the Audi A9
would take on, but there is high probability of the A9 coming in an
aluminum space frame similar to that of the A8. The main components
would be sourced from the MLB architecture
